The Almighty Bruce

Thanks to our friends at www.variety.com we're able to get a blank stare look into one of comedy's greatest sons, Bruce McCulloch. From a Canadian comedy troupe to the classic sketch comedy show Kids In the Hall Brucio has made more than a few of us laugh. He offers the crew at Variety some of his time to promote Carpoolers, the show he created and is producing.
